Junko had changed into the black dress she was given and was heading down to meet her mother and Yohei. She hated how she got tricked by him so easily, she let her guard down all because she wanted to save her mother.
...
During their search after Junko and Yohei left Hopes Peak they were in his limo, Junko wanted to know how Yohei knew about the kidnapping in the first place, she got suspicious but she also knew that her mother really liked Yohei and almost treated him like her own child, more than her nonetheless.
"Do you know where to start?" Junko asked, pushing those thoughts behind, "Yes yes I do." Yohei then did a signal to the driver, "For now let's have something to drink." he poured some wine into a glass and gave one to Junko and waited for her to take a sip, "Please try it, its quite refined." Junko took a small sip, almost immediately after she felt dizzy and fell asleep.
When she woke up she was at a room, she looked around and saw a black dress on an armoire she then got up and looked out the window, wherever Yohei took her it was no longer Towa.
"I was tricked." she said disappointedly.
...
Junko walked down to the dining room where her mother and Yohei was already waiting, "Ahh my dear you are finally here." she glared at Yohei, "You have some nerves kidnapping me." Yohei slightly chuckled at her remark, "Kidnap how can I kidnap my bride." he said with a grin.
"You better be grateful Junko." Junko's mother said, "Why?" her mother glanced at her before sipping some wine, "Because now you can be useful to me." she deadpanned.
"If you marry Yohei, you will be allowed to go to top parties and rack up some riches which you will give to me of course." Junko looked down at the floor, "Isn't that what I already do?" she said in a quiet voice, but her mother heard this.
"Huh? You think that career of yours as a model is any good? That's a career for whores and sluts." Junko felt hurt about her mother's comments, she may not admit it, but she kinda liked her job, "Though it does define you quite well, since you are one." Junko could no longer speak, it was too painful to.
"Yohei, when your marriage goes well, make sure you tame her. She still doesn't know the importance of status." Yohei merely nodded.
Junko sat herself down and no longer spoke another word.
...
After meeting with Mukuro and Junko's dad, the three ultimates returned to Hopes Peak.
There Group 78 gathered along with Jin to discuss Junko's kidnapping, "So we got tricked?" Hagakure asked, "Man I feel so stupid." everyone was now mad at Yohei, but none of them was mad as Makoto who sat through their meeting in silence.
Sayaka and Mukuro was getting worried Makoto was too silent they've never experienced the boy being this frustrated.
"What do you plan on doing Makoto?" Jin asked the luckster, "The dad said he'll bring us to her, but I doubt that the place will be unguarded, and since we don't know the house's entrances the front door is our only option." he explained to the older man.
"I guess we better find a way to turn you in easily then." Makoto then got an idea from what Jin just said.
"Togami, do you think you can provide some cars?" Togami looked at the boy before telling him that he can, "Yes I can, but why?" Makoto had a small smirk before his eyes glowed red.
"We're gonna crash that place." everyone in the room was shocked at what he just said, "You're kidding right dude, some of us don't even know how to properly fight yet!" Leon protested.
"That's correct! And there's no need for a massacre!" Ishimaru added, "Massacre?" Makoto asked confused, "Yes, I know that you are frustrated at the fact we got picked, but I don't want anyone there to be caught up in bloodshed. So I ask you to find a different way, killing isn't the only way to end this!" Makoto understood what Ishimaru meant.
"Ishimaru, you're right killing isn't the only option." Ishimaru thought that Makoto was going to find a more civilised way to settle the probem, "That is why I won't douse my hands in anyone's blood when we go and fetch Junko." Ishimaru looked at him confused, how was that possible.
"You slightly misunderstood Ishimaru- kun, my main priority is getting Junko back so I won't care about who lives and who doesn't.." he explained to the other boy.
"You do not have to worry, I won't kill anyone when I do the raid I promise." Ishimaru was still unsure, but he knew the luckster wasn't the type to lie so he let him go, "Alright, I trust you."
"Thank you. Jin text Izayoi and ask him to get ready some weapons that won't kill a person, and Togami- kun can you please round some vehicles for us?" he had to act polite towards Togami since he knows that the heir hates being ordered around.
"I shall do that Naegi." Jin said, "I'll see what I can do." Makoto was glad that Togami agreed to help, he really thought he wouldn't.
...
Over at Yohei's mansion Junko was eating silently, she didn't want to say a word since it might just anger her mother, "Junko can you please pass me some pepper." Junko did as she was told, but inside she just wanted to rebel against the order.
"Boss!" a henchman entered the room panicking.
"What is it?" Yohei asked not really interested. "It's chaos out there, some guys have broken in!"
"What?!"
...
Prior to the henchman giving the message. Junko's father was waiting for group 78, Makoto - who wore his Phantom outfit, just without the mask - met him there along with the rest of his group.
"Let's go." they all entered a car - which was provided by Togami- and left to go get their kidnapped friend. Junko's dad however got on the limo he used to get to Hopes Peak.
On the way to the mansion Makoto went and equipped himself with: taser gloves, a tranquilizer gun and some smoke bombs as well as flashbangs, they were provided by Izayoi who had them in stock just in case.
They were coming to the mansion so Makoto decided to tell the others, "Alright let's crash this place." he took his phone out and called Leon, "Leon let them fly." he ordered.
In another car Leon opened the sun roof and leaned out, in his hands were smoke bombs.
While at the gate the guards were completely unaware of the group, until they saw the headlights.
"Oh shit." one of them tried to aim and shoot the driver but they were blinded by a smokescreen, "What the?" Makoto opened his sun roof and jumped into the smokescreen then knocking the guards out.
When the rest of the group got out of their cars they all stormed the place. Inside they were met with several men who were armed, "Hope you guys know how to dodge bullets." one of the henchmen tried to aim, but instead was surprised to see Makoto in front of him, Makoto quickly knocked him out using the taser gloves.
The rest of them aimed at him, only to see him start to fade, Makoto had released his bloodlust and had disappeared in the eyes of the henchmen. They were all quickly knocked by Makoto who barely broke a sweat.
"Do you really need our help?" Leon asked their leader, "Of course, I need all of you to search the house for Junko." after giving the order all of them split up to find Junko.
...
Back at the dining room Yohei began to panic at the fact his house got crashed.
"Who would dare just barge into my home?" he asked in frustration.
"Yohei calm down I'm sure it's just those Hopes Peak students, they are nothing." Junko's mother tried to calm Yohei down, but Junko knew how wrong she was.
"Yes I know that they'll be easy to beat anyways." they heard a thump sound, Yohei turned around and saw his henchman knocked out on the floor.
"You know you should teach them not to go to you when trouble arises." Makoto entered the room shocking Junko's mother, he glanced at them only for them to see his bright red eyes.
"You." she said slightly shaking. Yohei tried to be sneaky by grabbing a knife and trying to cut Makoto, but the luckster noticed this and grabbed his arm. "Nice try." he mocked Yohei, "You-" Yohei was cut off by an elbow to his stomach making him fall to his knees.
"Now then I'll be taking Junko back." Makoto began to walk towards Junko, however he then felt bloodlust coming for him.
"Makoto!" he turned around only to be cut by Yohei who now had an evil grin, "You think you can beat me?" he took his tie off and unbuttoned his top button only to reveal a red trident tattoo.
"No." Makoto said in disbelief, "I won't die from a kid like you!" he snarled at the luckster.
He charged at Makoto again, but this time Makoto took a knife then readied himself for an attack. Yohei tried to slash him again, but the luckster dodged it he then tried to strike back but Yohei now a taking this battle seriously dodged as well.
Too bad he wasn't quick enough, Makoto managed to catch up and with one swift swing Yohei's arm was cut off. He stumbled backwards clutching the wound where his missing arm was, he glared at the luckster, but it soon turned to fear when he saw Makoto's bloodlust.
Makoto slowly walked to him, and in Yohei's eyes a giant skeleton was crawling up to him, when Makoto was in front of him the skeleton loomed over Yohei and its red glowing eye staring into his soul.
"Wait." he said afraid, Makoto raised his hand with the knife and began to slash down, the skeleton in sync opened its mouth and lowered itself to eat Yohei up, but it didn't and the knife was merely an inch of Yohei's face.
"I promised a friend I wouldn't douse my hands in blood tonight, so consider yourself lucky." Makoto then turned around and went up to Junko and her mother, dropping the knife on the way.
"Take her!" Junko's mother pushed her daughter to Makoto who nearly tripped if it wasn't for Makoto catching her.
"Take her and leave me alone!" Junko walked in front of her mother, "I want to say something to you before I go..." she said seriously.
"I had a long time to think about this, and now I know you never cared for me have you?" she asked but Makoto could tell that she was hurt by her own words.
"Of course I haven't, you were nothing more than just a burden to me. How I wished I was given a different daughter, instead of you. You satanic despair induced child." her words stung Junko, and angered Makoto, but the luckster knew he had to hold it in.
"It was you who made me this way, you made me into the person that I am and whether you like it or not, you are my mother and I am your daughter." Junko said resolutely, Makoto took Junko away from her mother and led her out of the mansion.
...
Outside the rest of the group waited for Junko and Makoto to come out, when they did the Mukuro was first to run up to them.
"Junko!" she ran up to her sister tears forming in her eyes as she tightly hugged Junko.
"Mukuro, I'm sorry." she whispered hugging back as well, "I've been a terrible sister." Mukuro shook her head, "No, I've been a terrible sister I wasn't there for you when you needed support the most." the two had their first moment as sisters, in what could be said in a long while.
The two separated and Junko looked at Makoto who was smiling happily at the scene, "Makoto, um..."
"Don't worry, its ok you don't have to thank me if its not comfortable yet, take your time." he cut her off.
Junko was taken aback, he knew that she was still uncomfortable with being a 'kind person'.
"Being despair induced won't just disappear in one night, so don't rush it." he gently smiled at her, his words really had an impact, because Junko managed to smile from the bottom of her heart.
Makoto was glad that she was ok, but him on the other hand started to feel the effects of his cut which was still open. His vision became blurry as he began to sway back and forth, "Makoto?" Mukuro asked noticing his actions.
Junko lifted her head just in time to catch the falling luckster, "Makoto!" everyone ran up to him and noticed the giant cut across his body, "Let's get him in the car quickly." Mondo carried Makoto to one of the cars and they all followed and went on the other vehicles.
They all then drove back to Hopes Peak, while trying their best to keep him from losing blood, Junko who was with him during the fight started to feel responsible for his state since she didn't even try to help him.
Again she felt despair, but not the good kind it brought pain to her chest as she looked at the luckster bleeding in front of her.
"Master please don't die."
